Health Concerns of Members
Carol Worley, long time member of Nu Chapter, who resigned for health reasons, had surgery to drain a cyst that was on her brain. The surgery went well and she is currently in rehab at Regent Care Center in San Marcos. Pat Tingle is also in Regent Care recovering from surgery. Barbara Peveto's husband, Allan, suffered a "minor" heart attack, and is in Austin Heart Hospital. The doctors agree that treating him with medication is more advisable than surgery at this time. I have no info about duration of hospital stay. This still sounds like a time for prayers and good thoughts. Evelyn Update from Barbara:Allan was released from Austin Heart yesterday afternoon. Three surgeons agreed that the location of the old, damaged graft was too difficult to reach safely--it is behind the heart--so no surgery. He left with new medications and a strict diet. Wish us both luck with that. Of course we cancelled our trip to North Carolina; getting on a plane was not an option! Barbara |

Please respond to the following from President Evelyn Barrett.
Hello everyone, One of our agenda items at the last meeting was “going to state in Las Colinas.” At that time, members who indicated they would be going are: Barbara Pevoto, Evelyn Barrett, Nadyne Gartman, and Sandra Morales.
At least these are the ones that I recall.
Others who were “maybes” at that time are Kathy Carriker and Loretta Eiben.
I have heard that Carol Fowler is planning to go but she has not said anything to me.
Please let me know ASAP if you are planning to attend. I need a head count by April 23. I encourage everyone who can to attend. This is one of the best things Texas DKG does.
FYI: The tradition has been for the chapter to pay for the one room for the president and distribute whatever money is left over among other attendees. However, I can assure you that there won’t be much if anything left for distribution since the rooms are expensive (about $650.00 each room for 4 nights).
Also at this point, we need to be completing registration forms. These are available on line.
The item in the box that follows only applies to those who are planning to attend the convention in Las Colinas. Members from Area 7 are being asked to man a publicity booth for the 2013 convention which will be held in Austin, next year. Members will have 1-2 hour shifts during which time we will talk to people, encouraging them to attend “our” convention, answering questions and the like. It will not be a hard duty.
Evelyn
Do you have an artistic streak? Do you love being a hostess? Do you like telling people “where to go” (as in giving directions and/or information)? Are you well organized and enjoy setting things up? Do you like meeting people?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then have we got a job for you! We’re looking for Delta Kappa Gamma members in the Central Texas area to volunteer time, talent, and skills at the both the 2012 Los Colinas state convention and the 2013 convention in Austin. As a volunteer you won’t go unpaid because you are worthless but because you are priceless to our society. We NEED you in a variety of areas necessary to host a fabulous convention.
If you’re up for the challenge, please indicate your interest below:

Please send your response to Evelyn. Ladies: Please be reminded that the Area 7 Workshop will be Aug. 4. from 9 am-12 noon. We need to register as a chapter. The cost is $10.00 per person if we register before June 15. Then the cost will go up to $15.00 There will be training for officers and committee chairs. Training is a good thing!! We can discuss this when we meet in Austin and at our regular meeting in May. My breakout session proposal has been accepted for the State Convention. How about that? However, I do need to find my own facilitator—whose main duties will be turning out lights and maybe running the projector/computer system (only if you are comfortable doing that.) Do I have a volunteer? If you are planning to attend state and are willing to help me, please let me know by April 10, which is my deadline.
